Need Celiacs Who Did Or Didn't Do Gluten-Challenge For Article

I am new to this forum, I have celiac disease myself by gene test, 2nd degree relative and gluten reaction but not by biopsy so far. Because of the catch-22 I have faced getting my "official" diagnosis, I pitched an article to Gluten Free Living about the Catch-22 of getting diagnosed. 

 

I am looking for people to interview who have had trouble getting diagnosed due to going off of gluten before seeking official diagnosis. Either you did the gluten challenge and got diagnosed or you are still in a limbo of almost certain you have celiac disease (relative with disease, gene test positive for markets and severe reaction to gluten when ingested) and unwilling to do the challenge (like myself) due to how sick it would make you. 

 

Please, contact me at the following address if you know anyone who meets this description! If I have posted this in the wrong forum, please direct me to the correct place.

 

Please hit me up at kbeanfreelance@gmail.com if you are interested in being interviewed for the article! Thank you.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
